Agronova, an agricultural company (AC) part of the Novaagro group, plans to begin its spring planting campaign in late March and sow 11,700 hectares with spring crops in the Kharkiv region, the company announced on Facebook.
According to the post, sunflowers will remain the main spring crop in the planting mix, with about 7,000 hectares allocated for them. The remaining areas are planned to be planted with peas, corn, soybeans, flax, and chickpeas.
“For us, the key aspects of this year’s planting campaign are the careful selection of effective microbial preparations, fertilizers, plant protection products, and high-quality seed. Seed treatment on the recently acquired line allows us to increase yields by 25–30%, which is a critical task under challenging weather conditions,” the company emphasized.
The agricultural holding reported that for the 2026 harvest, 8,700 hectares of winter wheat (over 40% of the total area) were sown, as well as 310 hectares of winter barley and 90 hectares of winter rapeseed. The fall planting was completed in mid-November 2025.
“The condition of winter crops is currently assessed as good or excellent. The conditions are in place for good yields, though sharp temperature fluctuations and possible spring frosts indicate that it is too early to make definitive forecasts,” Agronov concluded.
The Novaagro Group of Companies was founded in 2006 in Kharkiv. It specializes in the full cycle of agricultural production: growing grain, oilseed, and industrial crops; purchasing, storing, and processing them into flour (TM “Darislava”), oil, meal, and compound feed; as well as producing fertilizers and raising broiler chickens. The group’s structure includes the Novaagro agricultural complex, the Novatorg trading company, the Nova poultry complex, the Novaagro trading house, and the Agronova agricultural company.
The group’s land bank is concentrated in the Kharkiv region and totals approximately 30,000 hectares, distributed among three clusters. Production facilities comprise a network of six grain elevators (Hrakivsky, Orilsky, Shevchenkivsky, Kovyagivsky, Blyznykivsky, and Novovodolazky) with a total capacity of over 280,000 tons of simultaneous storage. The agricultural group also owns the Vasyshchevsky oil extraction plant with a processing capacity of 180,000 tons of sunflower seeds per year and a poultry complex with a simultaneous stocking capacity of 650,000 birds and its own slaughterhouse.
The beneficiary of the agricultural holding is Serhiy Polumysny.
